We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Mission: To value and support students, faculty and staff with a commitment to those opportunities that enhance the quality of education and professional development in an ethical environment.
In 1985, 100 dentists committed $5000 each to establish the UT Dental Branch Alumni Association Founders’ Fund. While the corpus of that $500,000 has grown to more than $1.5 million, it has also provided over $1million of support for the dental school.
Goals & Purpose
“Now is our time to support another fund that will have a lasting effect. The Legacy Fund has been created to raise a minimum of $2 million. The goal is to ask 200 individuals to contribute a minimum of $10,000. This Fund will remain open for years to come, so that your donations can accrue. Donors will be recognized on a donor wall on the fourth floor alumni area. Will you ‘pay it forward’ and join your colleagues who have made a commitment to our school?”
- Dr. Rusty Schlattman, Class of ‘71
"This commitment by alumni will be a difference maker for the future of our school. I know that students, faculty and staff will benefit greatly from the generosity of the Foundation for generations to come.”
- Dr. John Valenza, Class of ‘81, Dean of UT School of Dentistry
